Types of Canadian Women is [an] individual project, having less to do with history as such (revisioned or otherwise), and more to do with a kind of impenetrable and straight-faced weirdness, the distance and fascination of cryptic old images, the strangeness of imagining others.

Gaspereau also published a limited-edition hardcover of the book in 2007.

Press is delightfully irreverent, her writing laced with irony and wit. ... Press handles tone beautifully, slipping dark and disturbing pieces between the lighter bits; their effect is all the more unsettling for the contrast. It’s an ancient format, instruction through delight, but it remains resilient.
